Introduction and Purpose
Chemical hazards are very common in any workplace operation whether it is an manufacturing
company or non-chemical workplace. In an industrial, chemical or casual workshop many
occupational hazards can be identified through various disputed system or dysfunctional
protection. The purpose of this paper is to find the hazard issues that can cause by the chemical
exposal in a workplace while identifying the risks and control of these incidents. This report also
presents the findings from the various Material Safety Datasheet provided by the authority. The
hazard identification procedures have been also presented in this report.
Material and Equipment
 Camera for photography
 Handbook and guidance about chemical hazards
 Examples of colour codes within chemical hazards sign list
 Range of sources or simulated leakage
 PPE equipments which are used to avoid chemical hazards
Background
Like physical hazards, chemical hazards can cause permanent damages and can be also lethal for
many cases. The risks of chemical hazards not only associated with the chemical industry, it is
also very common for any other sectors. Both curable and incurable diseases can be found due to
the attachment several types of chemicals. Some of these chemicals affect the human body
rapidly, whereas some of them gradually poisoned the body, which can be found even after the
retirement (Epp and Waldner, 2012). Both passive and actively toxic materials are considered as
the substance of chemical hazards. These materials can cause initial damage or long term
